The Kardashians: The End Of Civilization Is Here

Over 30 Years ago at the age of 40, I stopped watching TV except for a very few "news items" (such as 9-11). I have not missed it in the slightest. People cannot understand how I can exist. I simply tell them that radio, the many world newspapers on the net, and talking to people keeps me informed. Since I am not interested in professional sports, i cannot envisage a TV in my dotage!!

It's called the dumbing down of America and people are watching these no talent losers. Problem is they keep showing up.
 
On the bright side, if the world ends like dem 'dar old time Myans said it would, we won't have to hear about hear about such trashy people on TV no mo'. :D

I wish my wife would let me shoot the TV...we were without one for nearly seven years...but I relented and picked up a junk one- worst mistake I ever made. :mad:

What's a Kardashian??

I have no idea what this is. I haven't watched anything on the tube except the Discovery/History/National Geographic channels and use the tube to watch DVDs as I haven't be to the movies in a few years. The last movie I went to a theater to see was "Shootist"
 
This is from a speech by the Chairman of the FCC, Newton Minow, in 1961:
"When television is good, nothing — not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers — nothing is better.
But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your own television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly commercials — many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it."

Nothing much has changed in the past 50 years.
 
Thanks for this thread. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? For the life of me I don't know. Now I will admit that the one is good looking but what is their claim to fame? Do they dance, sing,make great political commentary, what? I don't get it. And how is Bruce Jenner connected to them? I was flipping through the channels the other day and saw a show titled Kim and Klohe take New York or something like that. I thought it was going to be a travel show of New York, one like Rick Steves does. Instead it was about these goofs. Am I getting too old, is it me,lol?
 
Kim has a video circulating the internet that I heard about on a local sports talk radio program. It's not hard to find if you Google. I can't see how this person rates "star" status. Warning: do not view the video from a work computer!

I've found that if you shoot your television that it's almost as if the K's weren't on this planet at all!

Drew,

I recall some folks jest bout as disfunctional as the Ks.

Mr.& Mrs. So&So get into it over the tv show...Long story short, Mr.So shoots B&W tv.

TV catches fire, all them tubes I guess. Our shooter grabs up smolderin set and chugs it out in the yard.

Mr. So tell insurance man...I tryin to watch the Ed Sullivan show & tv goes out and starts smokin.
Grab it up and throw it in back yard, lucky it didn't burn the whole house down.

Get check from insurance company, buys new outboard motor.


Now, what was we talkin bout here...;):D

Damn, why didn't I think about that?

I coulda got me a new washin' 'chine.... one that you kin plug in!

I guess I gotta work on bein' just a little shifty... :)
 
Had no idea they even existed until I saw Bruce Jenners face pop up on the TV screen one evening while surfing for something decent to watch. Took about five minutes to discover it was a terrible mistake and that I had lost five minutes of valuable channel surfing time.

I guess it's pretty easy to condemn this one dementional shallow clan. A mother that cultivates and exploits her family, and Bruce Jenner, with so many facelifts his belly button is on his chin. You can't escape them. I try to avoid it but when I go through the channels there they are. Everywhere. Professional celebrities. They exploit every aspect of their lives including sham weddings. Kim Kardashian could sell her feces preserved in clear plastic on e-bay and people would buy it. So, who's worse. Them or the people that keep paying attention to them. I'm 100% pro capitalism and they have found a market so I guess I have to give them that. Ask the average person under thirty walking around a mall who their senator is and most won't know. Ask them to name those three Kardashian chicks and see what you get. Sometimes I think i was born just in time to experience the waning days of civilization. Oh, well. Merry Christmas everybody.
